It's A "Heart" Thing

"Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh."
Ezekiel 11:19

A heart of stone.  
A hard heart.  
A cold heart.  
Oftentimes we use these phrases to refer to people with negative attitudes, or those who seem angry,  bitter, and resistant to change.  Hmm, has this ever described our approach to weight loss and wellness?  Friend, be encouraged today!  Your Savior has arrived.  You no longer have to live with a hard heart regarding your health and wellness.  Notice the above verse does not reference you removing your own hard heart.  It says "I will removed their heart of stone."  Can I tell you that you cannot change your negative thoughts about weight loss on your own.  But, God can reach down, and perform a miracle.  One that results in you loving the healthy foods, you are eating.  And desiring to journal, and drink water.  Friend, you can't perform a miracle like this on your own, but can I tell you, GOD CAN!  Allow Him to work that miracle in you today.  Ask Him to forever change the way you look at food and weight loss.  Realizing, it was never about the food, it was alway "About the heart!"  

Let's Pray.
Dear God,
My heart has been so hard and resistant to this journey of weight loss.  What a beautiful revelation to find that You are in the middle of changing all that!  I'm ready for my new heart God.  I no longer want to be hardened to my journey, I'm ready and waiting to embrace weight loss like never before.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen

E4M DAILY STRATEGY
It's A "Heart" Thing
Oh, my goodness.  Embracing this revelation alone is a powerful strategy in and of itself.  But let's go a little further.  To prep yourself for "surgery", acknowledge where your heart is hard and resistant to this journey.  Recognition like this, gets you ready for change.  Below are some areas that many have developed a hardness of heart to regarding weight loss.
1.  It's not fair.
2. It's too hard.
3.  I'll never be able to lose that much
4.  I hate fruits and vegetables.

Notice something about the above statements?  They all have YOU in control.  In order for God to perform this "surgery", you are going to need to give Him the scalpel.  Let Him do His work in you today.  Refute the statements above with the truths of God's Word.  It's not fair, but was it fair for God to allow His son to die for your sins?  But He did it so you could have life.  Embrace your journey so that you can have a better life.  It's too hard.  Question for you. Would you let your BFF, children or spouse get away with using that phrase.  If it wasn't hard, it wouldn't be worth it.  Maybe you can't lose that much, but who's in charge of the work.  And you only hate what you don't eat.  Your body will crave what you feed it.  It's Science, and it's fact.  Feed it junk, it will crave junk.  Feed it the goodness of God's garden, and it will crave that too.
Let's get ready to be transformed.  
Remember, 'It's a "heart" thing!'
